CS: I became Top 1 by grinding my skill level

"No detection can prove that the other party used cheating software, and they have also requested to check your side..."

Figure 2, Desert City, during the game's warm-up phase, Beihai's mind was still replaying the referee's words. Despite being a streamer who was supposed to detect cheats, he had his equipment checked on the spot offline, but he didn't have time to care about that at the moment.

The match ended in a shutout, and Han Tian and Zhang Zhen were definitely not cheaters. With their last hope shattered, Bei Hai slumped back in his chair, his face ashen.

“Ding Di—”

The game was about to start, and his teammates were waiting for him to give them instructions, but Beihai seemed to have all his strength drained away. He just stared blankly in front of the screen without saying a word. The Dragon Roar team had lost its backbone.

TuTu and Maya looked at each other speechlessly. They could both see that the persona of Beihai, who had introduced them to the circle, had completely collapsed. They had initially regarded him as a cheater, but he had been beaten so badly offline.

Old teammate Lao Tang shook his head. Although he wasn't as fierce as Chang Bo, he didn't quite approve of Bei Hai's extreme approach to things in recent years.

And so, in a deathly silent atmosphere, the Dragon Roar team began their journey through Map Two: Desert Maze.

1:0

2:0

.....

11:0

Watching his familiar tactics being used again and again by the young commander on the opposing team to defeat him, Beihai suddenly felt as if his deceased captain was questioning him: Where did his original passion for playing professionally go? Why is he living such a despicable life now?

On the screen, the repeated gunfights between Han Tian, ​​Zhang Zhen, and Ike, among other young men, felt more like a judgment from the young Bei Hai to his present self. Where had that energetic young man gone, who led everyone to victory in Lion City? Why was he now just a deathly pale face?

"Old Tang..."

"Um?"

"Let's surrender..."

Old Tang saw Bei Hai sitting next to him with his hands covering his head, sighed slightly, and reached out a hand to Bei Hai.

"It's almost over. Let's finish it. There are always things in life that we have to face."

"....good"

Bei Hai's hand, trembling slightly beneath his sleeve, tightly grasped the outstretched hand of his old teammate.

At the end of the first half, the score was 14-1. Longxiao finally scored a point in the first half thanks to the performance of Lao Tang and Song Chen. It was also the only point they scored in the entire game.

However, there was no such thing as a comeback. In the second half pistol round, in site A, Ekdus and Nian got a triple kill at the start, eliminating the terrorists. The remaining CTs Song Chen and TuTu were powerless to turn the tide. After losing the final force buy eco round, Long Xiao finally ended these two inhuman tortures.

"Ta-da!"

A powerful rhythm rang out, announcing that OG Orange Team was the final victor in this battle, albeit a one-sided one.

Han Tian took off his headphones and slowly stood up from his gaming chair. Although he had achieved an extremely high kill ratio in this match, he did not show any excitement on his face.

He simply turned his gaze to Zhang Zhen beside him, the short, thin, introverted, expressionless boy who was staring blankly at the final victory animation.

Han Tian could understand that this match might be more meaningful to Zhang Zhen than winning the final.

His peaceful life was repeatedly shattered by that bastard from Beihai. His defamatory videos were all over the internet, his classmates mocked him, and his part-time job as a game booster to earn living expenses and supplement his family income was also affected by the rumors and became ignored.

It even implicated his family and friends. His simple and precious happiness in the past: studying while doing game boosting, occasionally going home to see his grandmother, buying some good food for his younger siblings... all of this, like the quinoa harvested in his hometown in autumn, was crushed to dust by the iron mill of rumors and vanished in an instant.

"Clatter—"

A tear fell onto the table. Zhang Zhen's eyes were red. The endless insults and humiliations he had suffered for the past two years condensed into a few small tears that fell down.

"It's all in the past."

Han Tian reached out and patted Zhang Zhen's thin shoulder, while Du Chengzi took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to him.

Du Sinian, who was standing to the side, pushed aside his seat and walked over. He took the tissue his sister handed him and slowly approached Zhang Zhen.

"After returning from Beihai, the lawyer's letter that our Orange Team prepared should have arrived by then."

"Anyone who dares to spread rumors and slander our team members will not be let off by the law."

Du Sinian handed the tissue to Zhang Zhen, assuring him that he, as the team leader, would handle the rest.

According to CS tournament rules, the winning team should punch the losing team at the end of the match. However, this is clearly inappropriate in the current scenario. Nobody wants to engage in any kind of match etiquette with the Beihai team.

Du Sinian waved his hand dismissively, and the entire Orange team packed up their peripherals and left. Competition etiquette is not for everyone; Beihai is not qualified.

And so, the entire Orange team walked out of the stadium through the back door in a line.

It was midday, and although the sun was still glaring, a gentle breeze could still be felt on the face in the wide, unshaded square.

Han Tian followed behind his teammates. After the competition ended and they successfully entered the finals, they learned from the staff that a European professional player would be present as an award presenter at the award ceremony for the winners of the finals the day after tomorrow.

Furthermore, the overall MVP of this competition will participate in the filming of the GG promotional video for the Electric Snake peripherals together with this European professional player.

"Judging by the timeline, Niko has probably already decided to leave Faze and join G2 to play CS with his brother Hunter, right?"

Han Tian knew that Niko's time at FaZe was limited to these last few months, ending around November when the CAC Asia Invitational Tournament concluded.

Niko, the legendary player who grew up in FaZe, is about to begin a new chapter in his journey with G2.

Han Tian knew that he knew very little about the European professional scene. If he really planned to try his luck there next year, it would be best to consult someone familiar with the European professional scene.

"If the experts could offer some advice..."

"With these stats, if I can win the championship, I should be able to be named the MVP of the entire tournament."

"But tomorrow's opponent in the finals... Sudong SD Youth Training, should be considered... the strongest team in this tournament, right?"

Looking at the match data, which showed the overwhelming record of Su Dong SD youth training throughout the tournament, Han Tian's still-youthful face couldn't help but show a hint of seriousness.

"What's wrong?"

Sensing Han Tian's footsteps slowing down behind him, Zhang Zhen turned around first. After successfully avenging himself on Beihai, he felt that most of the pent-up anger in his heart had been released.

Seeing that Han Tian, ​​who had always helped him, looked somewhat somber, he naturally felt a sense of concern.

"It's nothing." Han Tian's expression returned to normal. Winning MVP was his own business, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on his teammates.

"You've helped me so much...so much, but words of gratitude are too inadequate."

"I just want to win the championship to repay you, and to repay the captain and the others..."

As if he could read Han Tian's mind, Zhang Zhen, who was usually not good with words, surprisingly said something like this.

"What are you two doing! Let's go! Let's fleece my brother and get some good food!"

Ahead, Du Chengzi, who was skipping and hopping, finally noticed that the two had fallen behind. She clapped her hands vigorously, making a crisp "clap clap" sound, and called for the two who had fallen behind to catch up.
